Good of you to come folks.

In my never ending quest to find things made of win, I stumbled across this site, MineToys. It's a pretty new site as it was released the 11th of this month, and the stuff they sell satisfies the search for win... Temporarily.

Anywho, MineToys takes your Minecraft skin and turns it into a 3D model made of sandstone that you can set next to your monitor while you play Minecraft. They get out a 3D model, throw your skin onto it, and crank it out of a 3D printer, and it looks amazing. Whilst it is called a toy, it does not move and is just a 3D version of the 2D skin previews here, but is pretty damn spiffy nonetheless. Soon to come, however, is a more realistic, smooth-edged model that looks a lot more accurate and might have moving parts.

Pick up one of these beauties at their website, http://www.minetoys.com/, there are currently two sizes for two prices, a small 6 cm figure for $20 and a 12 cm figure for $50. It's expensive, but so is the sandstone stuff they use.

That's it for now, folks.
Until I come across another win-filled product...

Truthfully, it is expensive, but think of how expensive it is for them to make the models using colored sandstone and a 3D printer. Custom, nonetheless.
